Charlies A. Guenther of Douglas. is a citizen in which his home town may take ede: He is not only a citizen who obeys all the laws and ordinances, puts his shoulder to the wheel in all civic betterment, assists and advises in all things tending to the prosperity of his neigh- bors, but in his good works he does not confine himself to the present, he looks to tho future. He takes interest in the school children of Doug- Jas and to encourage greater effort to excel among them he splits up the sum of three hun- dred dollars cash in prizes. He did this last year and so satisfactory were the results that he has just authorized a repetition of the program for the current school year. The prizes are awarded through the city enp- erintendent of schools for excellence in the com- mon branches of learning, like reading, writing, spelling, English and arithmetic. The very branches most required by the average boy er girl in making his way through life. Tt is said that when the incentive to good work was announced by Mr. Guenther last year a marked improvement was noted in the grades secured by all students in the branches named by him. It was not true of one school but all schools, and not true of a few scholars but all scholars. Children applied themselves, gained an understanding of their subjects and whether they hoped to win one of the prizes or not, they labored diligently out of pride to take high standing in their classes. Mr. Guenther has hit upon a ptan to obtain good results in school, to aid teachers in further- ing the interest of scholors in their studies, and to assist the school authorities of his home town establish high rank for the schools under their jurisdiction throughout the state. “All of this is worth while. It helps the tm, portant cause of education and establishes hab- its in the young and impressionable that will prove of high value in after life. Mr. Gunether is to be commended not @lone by his home community but by people every- where who recognize learning as paramount to success in life. Provoking the Court If John A. Murray, police fndge, will. state his preference of three rousing cheers or a seren-: ade by the village band, he can have it prompt. ly. That he is entitled to it, and more, will not be disputed by ninety per cent of the people of Casper, whether car owners or not. The judge has established a reputation for himself, that we all hope he will maintain by further good work in the same line of activity. Of Iate there has been an unusual number of flagrant automobile offenses brought before Judge Murray's court. It has been noted that the amount of the fines assessed has been steadily increasing, where persons were found guilty indicating that justice was becoming slightly peeved at the frequency with which motor car laws and ordinances were being disregarded by people who ought to know better. The climax camo when finally an offender was brought in who so far as driving ability is concerned should not be entrusted to navigate a push cart down a back alley, let alone operate an automobile on a public street. The testimony confirmed just such a situation with reference to the defendant in the case. It was at this point the court’s patience snap- ped and the fine was a hundred bucks with a court order forbidding the prisoner to drive a car on the public streets of the city for the en- suing six months, This is something like the justice that ought to be ground out of Judge Murray’s miil every day. It would inspire a more wholesome regard for the laws that govern the use of the streets, the common rules of caution and safety and the rights and privileges of others, equal in every respect to those of the car driving offenders. A few of these salutary lessons is exactly what is required to enforce respect for the laws and reduce the number and variety of offenses. And that is exactly what a police court is for. It was not established as a revenue getter, The sexanue is simply an incidental feature, Expecting Company David Lloyd George, former British premier, | is coming to America, hoping to reach our shores early in October to remain a month. Ostensibly it is but a friendly visit at the in- | yitation of people of Welch descent residing in | this country and Canada. So far as the country knows the former prime | minister is our friend. During his tenure of of- fice he gave more than slight evidence of such friendship, especially during the war, which we repaid in kind not only to his country but to all countries with which we were associated in the great struggle. f These international visits are excellent’ thin; so long as the visitors are diplomatic enough to observe that they are in a foreign land, where different customs prevail and national pride is a touchy thing. We have not the remotest idea that Lloyd George will stub any toes in any of these respects for he is far too cautious; but in times gone by, and in very recent times also, we have had British and French statesmen come over to break bread with us who were less wise. These came upon pilgrimages of instruction to us in our duty to them and to the world. They were forgetful of the fact that we have always respectfully reserved the righ to judge of our own duty in our international relations and to follow it according to our own light and in our own manner. F Some of these visitors from foreign parts have rather felt aggrieved at our resentment of what appeared to us as meddling and have returned to the other side of the sea in high dudgeon. All of which furnished amusement for a day and afforded play for American humor through the press and elsewhere. Lloyd George will receive a cordial welcome on his arrival but he is warned, whether he holds high office or expects to hold it again that the sign on the edge of the lawn reads. “Keep Off the Grass.” Shaming Birds of the Air Airplane speed records like elevation records are things of but a week, often of but a day. At the present moment we believe the speed record is komething like two hundred and sixty-six miles an hour. This is the culminating achieve- ment in the domain of competition, but the wear- er of the speed crown will have to break his own record promptly or he will likely witness some- body else snatch it away from his brow. The high mark is rising more deliberately now instead of rapidly, and that fact indicates the approach of the limit of possibility, for mechan- ical flight. This does not impose a limit on the continuance of rivalry, for if the increments shorten progressivley their number may be in- finite and the last one never be attained. That is true in theory, at least. In practice it may be different after a time. That human beings can endure as well as pro- duce such speeds would be astonishing if we had not lost the power to be astonished by the accomplisifment of what used to be considered idle dreams, There really is something terrible as well as something magnificent in hurtling through the air at such rates as those attained in the recent trials and one notices that the now fastest ma- chine must touch the ground while moving at sev- enty miles an hour. A good many things may happen to a person on board at that moment — things in nowise pleasant to contemplate. A Kindly Mercy at That There has been disposition to emphasize the idea that Japan is at the “mercy” of other na- tions in case her fleet has been destroyed, or in any event, because of the immense amount of money that must be diverted from military mat- ters to the work of restoration. It may be literally true that Japan will be at the mercy of such nations as the United States and Great Britain, but if eo, it will not be in the slightest peril from them. To suggest otherwise, to suggest that these countries would be guilty of an attempt to take advantage of a friend in misfortune would be to accuse them of cowardice; and whatever failings the British empire and the great American republic may haye, they most emphatically are not cowards. The rush to aid Nippon as soon as news of the horrible disaster which overtook her became known, was significant of far more than a first rush of emotion, It was a logical eypression of the whole attitude the Mikado’s domains may ex- pect from the other two principal naval signa- tories of the arms conference treaties. They will not only help her and forbear from taking advantage of her trouble; Japan may feel satis- fied that they also will protect her, if it so hap- pens that she needs protection from the outside, which is extremely unlikely, Children But Once Thrift is an admirable virtue. Nobody will deny this assertion. The habit of saving money instead of wasting it should be established in good reason in the career of the young. In spite of these obvious and rather tiresome truths, however, some people will not be quite so much pleased as are the originators of, school banks by the fact that in the past year $9,500,000 has been deposited in these institutions by Ameri- can children, These critics will say that child nature has been unduly coerced, and that perhaps harm has been done, when boys and girls, Instead of spending their pennies for the things they really value, get for them what they do not highly en- joy —an entry in a little blank book. That is what the bank scheme gives them, and that is all, for to a child the present is all there is to time, In adults thrift 1s admirable, but in the young \§ it is unnatu The saving habit may turn into the vice o: serliness, and it is not quite true, as Poor Richard told us, a penny saved is a penny earned. It is a penny saved and nothing else. Ecarning is a different matter, implying energy, skill of some sort, and an element that most precious thing, the spirit of .ndven ture. Car Parking System Casper Tribune: The idea pre- sented by the evening edition of the Tribune of heving stalls marked off on an angle of 45 degrees on the business streets appeals to me as a very great improvement over the Present conditions; altogether too many cars being parked at an angle of nearly 90 degrees necessitating the use of nearly the entire driving space of the street in backing out; jand this method, !f adopted, should eliminate many accidents. But to limit parking to fifteen minutes in the business district seems an un- necessary restriction, and will work a hardship on many busin especially real estate deal the dealer who uses his car at any and all hours and who {s busy with a client does not want to have his mind distracted from the busipess in hand to be looking at the time and then have to rush out and move his car to some alde street, and some times by neglecting that pre- caution be compelled to meander down to police headquarters and pay his fine. It {s an unnecessary re- striction and the benefits derived will not justify its enforcement. would be, glad to have the views of other business men on this question. F. L. MARTIN. Large Registration LARAMIE.—Six hundred and seyenty students have registered at the university for the new school year, according to Registrar Mc- Whinnie. The registration during the first week of the 1923-24 univer- sity year is 168 greater than at the end of the same period last year and 115 greater than the total registra- tion at the end of the first three weeks in the 1922 term.

Sheridjan’s Heavy Storm SHERIDAN.—Although rain has * fallen steadfly since Sunday morn- ing over an area extending from |southern Montana to New Mexico, Oklahoma and Missouri, Sheridan outdid all other localities by having ja total precipitation of 1.8 inches when the rain subsided here at 10:55 o'clock Mondsy morning. More ithan two feet of snow covers the Big Horn mountains. \ Will L. Wyland, official in charge of the local United States weather station, stated the rain began falling over Sheridan at 3:30 o'clock Sun- day morning and had continued al- |most without a break from that time on. The forecast was fair but colder weather. The rain turned to snow in the Big Horn mountains, and they were mantled Monday morning, Reports from the Spear cabin showed a heavy snowfall and 28 inches were reported to have fallen jat the Bowman ranger station since 10:30 o'clock Saturday night. C, A. Simmons reported by tele- Phone at 10 o'clock Monday morn- ing that 30 inches of snow had fallen at Dome Lake and still was jfalling steadily, Two feet are re- ported at Tepes Lodge.

Not until it became known this afternoon that the university weather bureau forecast promised ‘‘generally fair weather tonight and tomorrow, with a rising temperature,” that this ap- prehension became less marked. Today's storm recalls to the memory of many an old-time resi- dent the great snowfall of Septem: ber 15, 1903. It was on this never- to-be forgotten date that the snow- fall was so heavy that hundreds of |trees in the city were greatly dam- aged by reason of the weight of the |snow upon the still heavily follaged limbs and even greater damage was done to the hay and grain crops throughout the country. On this memorable day {t was necessary to use snow plows in the streets of the city and in many sections, of the |town parents kept their children at home from school rather than have them fight their way through the great drifts of snow. | pas OREN Block Paving Damaged SHERIDAN.—The rain for 24 hours resulted in further damage to Sheridan's wood-block paving, which | buckled in several spots on’ North bridge to Grinnell avenue. There are three such places between Dow street and Alger avenue. Workmen from the city street department were started on repair of Broadway. The rain temporarfly stopped the tearing up of the street car tracks on Main street and the roller being used for the new paving was Isid loff for at least the half day. vee Perfect Wyoming Baby and children attended the fair at YODER.—Mr. and Mrs. Fred Clay Mitchell, Nebr., Thursday and Fri- day of last week, and on Friday entered their baby daughter in the baby contest. ‘There were over ninety babies en- tered, but little Miss Clay took first prize, scoring 99 per cent perfect. She is 13 months old and weighs twenty and one-half pounds, and Yoder 1s very proud of her. See gee es Send your automobile news to “Spark Plug.”—Ccare Tribune.
